Rating: Summary: not the greatest that I have seen Review: Sound quality is not that great...wish that it had more options as well. I was very excited to see that this DVD was coming out and now I am disappointed of what I got. Good tunes, but not at powerful sounding as it could be. As I watched it for the first time I could barely hear the bass thumping through the band. Good for a collector, but not for someone wanting the power that this band should project.
Rating: Summary: Great to have T.o.P. on DVD Review: This concert is taken directly from a TV-broadcast from 1998 (hence the slightly cheesy titles in between songs). "Ohne Filter" was a German TV-show dedicated to showing live performances of blues, jazz, R&B and soul artists, and since none of this is mainstream, the series was produced on a limited budget. Consequently, the visual and sonic quality of this DVD is not immaculate, although I think it is not nearly as bad as some people make it sound. The bonus material is redundant, but that is not what I bought the DVD for.Do not buy this DVD if you are looking for a visually impressive concert dvd, making full use of this medium - you will be disappointed! However, in my opinion it is the music that counts, and Tower of Power deliver what you expect from them, which already makes this DVD wortwhile to me.
Rating: Summary: Disappointing Review: This is a disappointing video. The camera work is okay, but the audio is mediocre. It's not mixed well; you can't hear the solos and the vocals are inconsistent. It was filmed in a TV studio which may explain the poor acoustics. If you just want a rare video record of your favorite band, buy the video. But let's hope the band comes out with something that looks and sounds better.
Rating: Summary: Tower of Power in Concert Review: Tower of Power is an excellent band. I have been a fan since the early seventies. I enjoyed the DVD; however, it really does not do justice to their power sound. The overall quality of sound is not what one would expect. The bass was virtually non existent. You simply could not hear it. But for a true fan as myself, I was just happy to finally get some type of T.O.P. performence on video. The song selection was great. I truly hope they will decide to do another DVD project in the US.
